smile to heart

======================

In the cloud room, the morning light poured into the window, and a blue bird stood on a branch outside the window, and flew away with two chirps.

"Little end..."

The person who gradually woke up from the coma murmured weakly to himself, and Mu Yin, who was guarding the bed, heard his low voice, and quickly woke up from his fatigue, and shouted joyfully.

"Brother Yun, are you awake?"

Extremely excited, Mu Yin gently held his frostbitten hand, conveying a little warmth, and looked at his sick face with distress.

The mortal breath was thick and turbid, Mu Yun finally opened his eyes, and looked around the familiar room dully.

"Brother Yun! Hey, you finally woke up!"

After confirming that Mu Yun had returned to life, Mu Yin wept with joy and shouted with joy.

Mu Xi heard the noise, hurried in and helped take care of her.

"Hey, brother Yun, where are you going? You haven't recovered from your injury..."

Without saying a word, Mu Yun threw off the quilt and landed on the ground, with a hurried look, but he was in pain due to internal injuries, and the corners of his lips were stained with blood, which made Mu Yin startled.

The hands that were pushed away fell on the side of the bed, drenching Mu Yin's anxiety and worry for days.Seeing that he didn't respond to her and was still determined to leave, Mu Xi raised her hand to stop him and gave a heavy order.

"Mu Yun, wake up. That person is already dead!"

One sentence stopped all his movements, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his heart was filled with ashes and ashes.

Mu Xi tried to wake up his reason, and continued to say calmly: "You have been in a coma for three months, and too many things have happened in these three months. No matter what, some endings cannot be changed. Now that you have gone home, don't Think about those things again, your loved ones are by your side..."

"Heh, huh. Relatives? Relatives can use the soul-binding technique on me, can they force me to kill with my own hands? You are so cruel..."

Two drops of bitter tears fell straight down, and Mu Yun smiled hoarsely, not knowing whether she was blaming herself or them.

Mu Xi was suddenly dumbfounded, and moved sideways.

"Brother Yun, that's not the case. Listen to what my sister said..."

Mu Yin was afraid that he would feel disgusted, so she was eager to explain.

But was interrupted by Mu Yun coldly: "Get out!"

The unfeeling words caused Mu Yin's heart to sting for a moment, and she almost couldn't breathe.Mu Xi knew it would be useless to talk too much, so she persuaded Mu Yin and helped her leave.

The room filled with the fragrance of books suddenly fell silent. Mu Yun supported his hands slumpedly and looked at the light coming in from the window. She burst into tears, opened her dry eyes wide, her heart was ashamed, and murmured: "Not here anymore, he, no, here, now..."

……

In Guisi Hall, Mu Xi was sitting on a high seat, looking at the mountains of documents on the desk, sighed slightly, frowned, feeling exhausted.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master..."

"What's the matter?"

The disciple's yelling made him regain his sanity and sobriety, cheer up, sit upright, and listen carefully to the man's report.

"Here, this is the list of disciples who quit the division this month... You, please take a look..."

While talking, the man handed the notebook to Mu Xi tremblingly, lowered his head, not daring to look at his expression.

When I opened it, I saw the names of more than a hundred people, dense ink marks came into Mu Xi's eyes, and the reasons were written in a hype, some of them were directly open and frank, and even slandered Mu Yun.He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are so many people, it's a pity to be annoyed, the head of the fairy family who was so prosperous at the time is now gone, and he knows very well that what's more serious is that the sect represented by their family is about to disperse .

"Eldest son...how about taking it easy and persuading them more, maybe..."

The man spoke more and more quietly, knowing that he lacked confidence.

Mu Xi put the notebook aside, her head remained indifferent, and she smiled weakly: "Forget it, let them go."

After the disciple left, Mu Xi couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, leaned back on the chair, looked at the beams of the house, and thought about it carefully. Over the years, with the support of Jiugai Mountain, the Mu family has grown a little A little growth, how much effort he put in during this period, is still ruined now, thinking that careful cooking will make the Mu family famous forever, but he doesn't know that it just makes the Mu family a pawn, a hawk dog issued by the former immortal.

"Cousin, cousin..."

Before he could close his eyes and rest, Mu Yin's voice came from outside the door again, and his anxious tone made him feel distressed.Mu Xi hurriedly went to meet her, but before she could escape her words of comfort, the visitor was already crying to the point of heartbreak.

"Cousin, go and persuade brother Yun, he hasn't eaten or drank for several days, if he continues like this, he won't be able to bear it."

Mu Yin knelt on the ground slumped, Mu Xi got up with her, but couldn't exert any strength, so she just stood there, looking at the dark sky outside.

It is going to rain.Another weary rain.

"Why, why does a good home turn into this..."

Sometimes she sobbed, and sometimes she cried for explanation, every word was like the tip of a knife piercing Mu Xi's heart.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes: Yes, since when did it become like this?He thought of the time when he was a child, when he and Mu Yun were respectful, discussing poetry and prose, competing with martial arts and swords. Every flower and every grass was tidied up bit by bit by his own hands.These good things started from Liuzhen Immortal announcing Mu Yun as the next Immortal Venerable, from knowing that all my painstaking efforts were in vain, from the alienation between them...slowly disappeared.

"Woooooh...cousin, what should I do..."

Mu Yin held onto his sleeves, weeping helplessly, with a haggard look.

Mu Xi hesitated to speak, and stared dumbly at her desolate, fragile posture full of bitter hatred, feeling even more distressed.

Her cousin was such a proud woman with a heart soaring, but now she is so weak, I have to sigh, no matter how hard she looks on the surface, her heart is also soft. To shed such bitter tears!

Thinking of these, Mu Xi frowned sadly.He pursed his dry lips, tried his best to calm down his exhausted face, coaxed her gently, and gently wiped the tears streaming down her face from her sadness, while comforting her in a gentle voice: "Ah Yin, don't cry, there is a cousin in everything." Take it easy, get up first, drink some water, and slow down your throat."

"No, don't drink! Cousin, brother Yun has already left us once, I don't want to lose him again!"

Mu Yin was full of guilt and grief towards Mu Yun, and she couldn't listen to a word of comfort at the moment.

Mu Xi was helpless, sighed, straightened her up, and said seriously, "Okay. I'll go and persuade him, you go and rest first."

These days, I have been taking care of Mu Yun for so long without taking clothes off, and I have to secretly pay attention to his behavior every night, for fear that he will be overwhelmed and commit suicide again.Mu Yin rubbed her tired eyebrows, and nodded slightly.

She believes that Mu Xi has reached the point where as long as he has a good word, she can completely relax.But she didn't know how her cousin was so crushed by the pressure and regret that he couldn't sleep all night.

When Mu Yin's leaving back was completely submerged by the shade of the trees on the side of the path, Mu Xi dared to relax, propped herself up, leaned against the table, frowned deeply due to the headache, and raised her hand to rest her forehead.

Gritting her teeth, Mu Xi thought in her heart: If he falls down, this family will really be over.No matter what, he must protect the safety of the Mu Yin siblings, this is the only way he can repay his kindness.

Such a deep responsibility held Mu Xi to the last breath in his heart, even during the time when he closed his eyes and rested, he did not dare to relax.

……

The door of the cloud room was gently pushed open, and the room was completely dark. With the light from the door frame coming in, it felt a little bit human.

Mu Xi entered the room with her hands behind her back, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Mu Yun in unlined clothes, with disheveled hair, sitting in front of a bronze mirror, motionless.

Unable to pinch her palms, Mu Xi caught a glimpse of the cold food on the table and the folded Chinese clothes in the closet... Mu Yin's thoughts were so meticulous, but he was still unmoved.

Mu Xi sank her heart, walked over slowly, and stood beside him, with one hand on his shoulder, with a gentle expression on her face.

"Why don't you eat well? I remember that when you were young, you went to Jiugai Mountain to study, and you came home at the end of the month. You like to eat the food made by your sister the most. You also said that the taste of her cooking is the best of Aunt Mu's craftsmanship..."

Mu Yun's eyeballs swayed slightly, then lowered his eyelids slightly, but still did not reply.

Mu Xi stabilized her patience and continued to persuade him: "I know you are very angry and hate. But the matter has come to this, can it be done again?"

As he said that, he sat beside Mu Yun, and suddenly became depressed, mocking himself a little: "If I can do it all over again, I hope I have never been here, never been taught by my uncle, and never been entrusted with being a fairy lord." I hope that I have never traveled down the mountain, and I have never..."

Mu Yun glanced lightly from the corner of his eye, saw the sadness on Mu Xi's expression, and suddenly remembered some past events, and his heart softened for a while.

It's a pity to say that when the Immortal Liuzhen was the Immortal Venerable, he only said that he would order people in the Mu family, and never directly pointed out Mu Yun. In fact, at that time, Mu Xi was more hopeful than him. Now that it has become like this, maybe it is another His father's wishful thinking.

Those who yearn for it cannot get it, but those who are away from it are trapped.

He also learned about these things later, so towards Mu Xi, Mu Yun always felt an unspeakable guilt in his heart.

"Cousin..." After a long time, he shouted hoarsely, apologizing guiltily, "I'm sorry."

Such a word made Mu Xi's eyes light up a little, and she turned to stare at him, her tone was quite excited: "There is nothing to be sorry for, you are the third brother that A Yin and I love the most, we all hope you are well, don't let me go It's so depressing..."

Before the words finished, Mu Yun knelt down, and Mu Xi had no time to pick him up, but saw him kneeling respectfully in front of her with red eyes, bowing his head, begging in trembling voice: "Cousin, I beg you, return him to me." Me, okay?"

With a bang, Mu Xi's mind was chaotic like a group of demons dancing wildly, his ears ringing like hallucinations, and then his eyes were sour, and he asked him angrily and painfully.

"Why? Who should I ask? Why did he implicate you like this? Why did he take away the closest people from me and Ah Yin without any effort? What is he?"

"He is my favorite person!"

With a kowtow, Mu Xi's questioning stopped abruptly, her hands on her knees trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't say another word.

Heaven and man are separated forever, and only in exchange for this confession.It's too late to say it.

Mu Yun begged bitterly: "I have a brother and a sister. But in this world, he has no one..."

"I know you love me and care about me, but can you love him too and share your love with him..."

The humble prayer attacked Mu Xi's conscience like a scourge.It's been so long, but he doesn't dare to say frankly that he can still have a clear conscience after being an accomplice, he dare not say that he has no selfishness, he even has resentment, because Luo Qingchen is senior brother Qi Zhong, he is hostile Looking at Qi Zhong with disgust, prejudice or misunderstanding, when did he become like this?

"It's different. Can't tell..."

After a long time, Mu Xi got up slowly, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and refused bluntly.

"Do you know that when I was a weak crown, I also traveled to the bottom of the border like you and him, and met people who were comparable to my confidantes, and I was involved in unknown emotions like you, but the ending was as bleak. When there is no fate, there is no fate. What's the use of forcing? He is dead and powerless, so you can bury that love together."

He spoke numbly, without any persuasive tone, but it seemed that he was speaking for himself.

"Then I, the only one who dies, I would like to apologize for this crime!"

The firm voice was loud and deafening.

Mu Xi turned around with her body on her back, and seeing the determination on his face, she was annoyed namelessly: "Crime? What is the crime? Where do you start?"

"I owe the common people, I owe Buddhism, I owe my lover, I owe my relatives, I owe my teacher..."

"Enough! You are always like this. You take everything on yourself. Do you know that I love you, your sister loves you, and Aunt Mu loves you even more in the spirit of heaven! What you can't do is not yours." Wrong. Your behavior makes me feel ashamed..."

Mu Xi was extremely helpless and ashamed, and could no longer look directly at him, so she slapped the table twice hard.

"Boom—"

Thunder roared outside the house, and a heavy rain was coming.The room was dead.

After a long time, Mu Xi compromised and said, "This is a letter from Feng Mei to you."

With a hasty word, Mu Xi rushed out of the oppressive cloud room, and the moment he paused in the corridor, he suddenly felt relieved.

He was puzzled and thought: Perhaps, the real fulfillment is never the fulfillment of both, there must be someone who gives everything first, in exchange for the one who cares about to get what he wants.
